Until the coat is gone. Will be able to know by spraying water. So far mine still working great after 6 months. Previously I was using Soft99 12 months wax (can't remember the name) but it attracted dirt which cannot be removed by normal car wash. You can see a layer of dirt sticking on the paint surface. Ceramic coating has no such issue. Will never go back to wax

Wifey new company car collected 6-7 months back, paintwork looks ok, wash, clay, clean it with isopropyl then coat double layer (1st layer Glanzy+ 10H coat) a week ago then today 2nd layer with this $34 fro Aliexpress.

Windscreen all round coated as well with Dr Chemist fro Shopee

Let’s see how it withstand 24/7 outdoor

any idea what's the best way to remove house paint residue from car body?

read that we can use clay bar, tar remover or even WD40?

As mentioned, completed 2 layer this couple of days on a 4 yrs old car. Dquartz is by far the easiest to apply and buff off. Great can be used on the windshield and windows too. 2nd layer with the balance from previous coating. Prep was the usual wash using clay cloth, dry, removed some watermarks and clean with isopropyl DIY 50/50 mix prior to applying coats. Let’s see how it holds up.

Looking good! BTW, didnt you polish after clay, or your car top layer was smooth enough, with no swirls?

No I did not as the paintwork looks good with very2 little swirls. After clay, it was smooth enough to apply the coats.

Ok can’t help myself since there’s plenty of leftover fro DquartzGo, decided to apply it on MYJ yesterday evening. This car was double layered previously last year, think sometime in June/May when I got the car. Applied all over the car including glass roof, windows and windscreens. For the bottom plastic, I used the 12H leftover fro coating X70. Both coatings still has leftover, might use it later to coat perhaps my sister’s car during CNY. Results is amazing!
I’m done DIY on all household cars for the next couple of years hopefully

what shampoo do you guys like to use? so far Im sticking to Soft99 budget shampoo in the blue bottle. It comes in a 2 litre pack with two different choices, the other one has wax which I have not tried. Previously I had some tough staining problems and some of you suggested it could be the Fusso Coat. I have stopped using Fusso and the problem went away so I assume that was the reason. Now I dare not use their shampoo with the wax.

The blue one is just shampoo. I use it once a week. So far I didnt notice any residue or soap stain after using. That to me is a huge plus. Very easy to rinse off. I use a foam bottle spray and the foam is not too bad, quite thick. Cost less than RM30 for a 2 litre bottle.

I used to snow foam using IGL blizzard then soap with turtlewax hybrid.
Now i do rinseless wash using p&s rinseless wash.
I blast the debris/dust away before doing rinseless and wipe dry. Saves time and lesser solution.

Ya i always been using the blue ones too as i wasx each time after wash

which wax are you using? need to wax so often?

Fusso, Kiwami,mirror.
Ya obsessed to keep it shiny n no stains

anyone got watermark issue with coating done?

Watermarks will still happen on ur coating if you dont wash your car often

I wash every week still got! It happened after rain which i didn't have enough time to dry it

Yeah, thats the "cons" of coating.. if you bought it, try go back to the shop and complain..

Thanks! Now thinking still the old school wax and polish still the best.

Anyone going to IGL warehouse sale?

I wouldn't recommend the use of soft99 fusso 12 months wax. I have been using it for some time and after a while, it will attract dirt which is not washable with normal wash. This happen even a weekly wash. The only way to remove the dirt is by using meta cleaner or polish. I have stopped using fusso wax since and apply ceramic coating and there is no longer any dirt
